Solve : Certain sites turn my screen black and freeze it.?

Answer»

Hello, whether I'm in mozilla or explorer, a couple of sites have made my screen turn black and bring up a blue screen error. Today it was:

Error: 06: D771 :0000A0DC

Following this, my keyboard locks and I have to restart my computer with an improper shutdown.

I've noticed that upon restarting sometimes (possibly every time, I can't remember) my zone alarm firewall doesn't work. It's fine once I restart it again, though.

Is there anything I can do? It is the same two sites so far - one of which is a myspace site and the other is maniatv.com.

I have windows me if that bears any relevance.

Thank you for any help you can provide.Scan for Viruses, Trojan Horses and spyware.

1. I was already using some of those things and have so far found, having tried most of them so far, that there is still a bit of a problem. Would uninstalling and reinstalling mozilla help at all or would the 'bug' or whatever it is still persist? Is it in my browser?

2. I can't see that the microsoft download is compatible with windows me - it seems everything but. Should I still try to download it? Perhaps I didn't read something carefully enough.

Thanks.Sorry - I have answered my own question about microsoft - it says what I needed to know!

Thanks.

Any ideas on other query?It might. Be certain you have the latest Firefox updates.
